Consumer Description

DEALERSHIP CONTENDS THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE ALTHOUGH IT OVER HEATED WITH ONLY 34,000 MILES ON IT. I SPOKE TO TWO INDEPENDENT MECHANICS, INCLUDING ANOTHER DEALERSHIP MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT VEHICLES DO NOT OVERHEAT WITH JUST A "LITTLE" COOLANT LOSS. KIA CLAIMS I WAS A "LITTLE" LOW, FILLED IT UP & SENT ME ON MY WAY. *NLM
